Selected contributions to the Ninth World Shakespeare
Congress, which took place in July 2011 in Prague, represent the
contemporary state of Shakespeare studies in thirty-eight countries
worldwide. Apart from readings of Shakespeare’s plays and poems,
more than forty chapters map Renaissance contexts of his art in
politics, theater, law, and material culture and discuss numerous
cases of the impact of his works in global culture from the
Americas to the Far East, including stage productions, book
culture, translations, film and television adaptations, festivals,
and national heritage. The last section of the book focuses on the
afterlife of Shakespeare in the work of the leading British
dramatist Tom Stoppard.
